Adjustable Mattresses

Adjustable beds are ideal for those who have health problems and may spend longer in bed. As the name suggests, an adjustable bed is controlled by buttons which can move the frame to offer more comfort. But it won’t be complete without an accompanying adjustable mattress.

What is an adjustable mattress?

Adjustable mattresses are secured to the base of an adjustable bed to offer full movement to the sleeper. This means they can sit up with ease or get in and out of bed without adding pain to their joints.

Adjustable mattresses are usually made of either pocket springs or memory foam, both of which offer great support and comfort to those who need it most. For example, a pocket spring mattress contains hundreds of springs each individually wrapped so they can distribute weight evenly thoroughly the mattress.

Adjustable memory foam mattresses mould to the shape of your body meaning you can sink into a soft and comfortable mattress. Memory foam is ideal for those who suffer from back pain as you won’t feel any resistance from your mattress and your spine can stay naturally aligned. This technology was also invented by NASA, so you know you’re in good hands.

What are the benefits of an adjustable mattress?

An obvious advantage of an adjustable mattress is that it can move in ways that regular mattresses cannot. This means that if a person struggles sitting up in bed, or has difficulty getting in and out of bed, an adjustable mattress can help them with the push of a button. These buttons move different parts of the bed frame and the mattress moves in sync, bending without damaging the structure of the mattress.

As well as memory foam and pocket spring, adjustable mattresses are also available with a temperature controlling cover, this means the sleeper can stay cool throughout the night without disrupted sleep. Again, this is ideal for someone who suffers from pain and wakes up often during the night.

What is the best adjustable mattress for you?

Adjustable bed mattresses come in a variety of comfort grades and sizes so you can tailor your mattress to your needs. For example, our adjustable mattress are available in either a medium or a firm comfort grade. This is because those who spend a longer time in bed will need a little more support than others. A medium or firm mattress will support your joints and help keep your spine aligned, so you don’t need to worry about waking up with aches and pains.

For those who tend to sleep on their side, a medium adjustable mattress would be best as it offers a little more cushioning to vulnerable pressure points. Those who sleep on their back or their front require a little more support – if this sounds like you, we recommend a firm mattress.

What size adjustable mattresses are available?

Adjustable mattresses are not only available in the single bed size. You can choose from a small single which is 75cm wide, a single which is 90cm wide, a small double of 120 cm and a regular double which is 135cm wide. A small double may be ideal to accommodate two people who are short on space in the bedroom. If you need an adjustable bed just for one person and space in the room is still tight, a small single will do the trick.

Can you purchase an adjustable bed mattress only?

While you can buy an adjustable bed with a built-in mattress, this does not have to be the case. Adjustable mattresses can be bought separately if you already own an adjustable bed, or if you simply want to improve your adjustable mattress. The best mattresses for an adjustable base should be under 8 years old and offer support and comfort, helping prevent aches and pains. If your mattress is past that 8-year point, we recommend getting a new one.

Do you need an adjustable mattress topper or protector?

Finally, it’s important to consider whether you would like to add a topper or protector to your adjustable mattress. This is not essential, as your mattress will offer lots of cushioning and comfort on its own. However, a topper or protector is always a helpful addition.

An adjustable mattress topper adds an extra layer of padding to your bed, this can even be in memory foam which will create endless comfort. This is a good idea if the sleeper spends a lot of time on the bed. Mattress protectors, on the other hand, are helpful to extend the lifespan of your mattress. Certain mattress protectors are even waterproof to safeguard your mattress from any spills or accidents.
